#ME TOO

During autumn 2017, the Weinstein affair brought about a fundamental awareness: violence and sexual assault exist in all strata of society, public or private.

In France, social networks seized this momentum by using the hashtags # balancetonporc and #metoo and thus revealed the extent of the phenomenon. What do deaf people think of this movement? Did this liberation of speech operate in the same way for them? Are deaf victims more vulnerable and do they come up against very specific issues?
